KARL MARX

True or False Prophet?

Peter Singer identifies the central vision that unifies Marxs thought, enabling us to grasp Marxs views as a whole. He sees him as a philosopher primarily concerned with human freedom, rather than as an economist or a social scientist. He explains alienation, historical materialism, the economic theory of Capital, and Marxs ideas of communism, in plain English, and concludes with an assessment of Marxs legacy.
